A distinct signaling pathway called TNF-α drives the transformation of epithelial cells into aggressive tumor cells. During cancer progression, cells activate their own TNF-α program and become ...

Epithelial tissues are in constant interaction with their environment. Maintaining their functionality requires dynamic balance (homeostasis) and that their cell numbers are tightly regulated. This is ...

Researchers have discovered a new way that epithelial cells, which form layers in organs like the skin and stomach, attach to one another, and how they perceive growth signals at these attachments, ...

In a recent study, researchers at TIFR Hyderabad show how the elasticity of extracellular matrix (ECM) of epithelial tissue affects their fundamental defence against oncogenic insults. ECM forms the ...

Researchers identify altered expression of genes that worsens periodontitis among smokers, and a new target molecule ...

Gastric duplication cyst (GDC) is a rare sub-type of enteric duplication cysts. Complete surgical excision is recommended due to potential risks of bleeding, perforation and malignant transformation.

Side section of the skin with epidermal stem cells (green) with one particular clone in red. Cell nuclei are stained in blue, the white dashed lines indicate hair follicles. How does a normal cell in ...
